Human Eye Movements during Visually Guided Stepping

Abstract: Visually guided locomotion was studied in an experiment in which human subjects (N = 8) had to accurately negotiate a series of irregularly spaced stepping-stones while infrared reflectometry and electrooculography were used to continuously record their eye movements. On average, 68% of saccades made toward the next target of footfall had been completed (visual target capture had occurred) while the foot to be positioned was still on the ground; the remainder were completed in the first 300 ms of the swing pha… Show more

“…There is also evidence that gaze direction is important during natural locomotor tasks. When people walk on irregularly spaced 'stepping stones ', 57 Head Orientation and Trajectory of Locomotion in Domestic Chicks saccades to fixate the target of the next step are closely synchronised with the gait cycle [Hollands et al, 1995], and drivers fixate accurately the 'tangent point' of an approaching curve in the road at a specific time interval before turning the steering wheel [Land and Lee, 1994].…”

“…In diverse everyday activities (Land and Furneaux, 1997;Land and Hayhoe, 2001), including walking (Hollands et al, 1995;Hollands and Marple-Horvat, 2001), reaching to an object (Herman et al, 1981), playing a musical instrument (Sloboda, 1974;Furneaux and Land, 1999) or ball games (Land and Furneaux, 1997), eye movements precede other actions. Driving is a classic example, in which eye movements anticipate motion of the steering wheel when negotiating a winding road.…”

“…It is possible that these discrete steps result in the integration of additional information, which may provide a more accurate picture of prey location. This notion would liken crawling behavior to saccades present in the visual behavior of mammals as well as some insects (Rossel et al, 1992;Hollands et al, 1995;Lappe et al, 1999;van Hateren and Schilstra, 1999;Drew et al, 2008). Furthermore, during crawling, it is normal for at least one of the leech's suckers to remain in contact with the substrate.…”
